Bryan Freedman, a lawyer for Baldoni and his manufacturing firm Wayfarer Studios who filed the lawsuit on behalf of the plaintiffs, informed E! Information in a press release that the Occasions “cowered to the desires and whims of two highly effective ‘untouchable’ Hollywood elites, disregarding journalistic practices and ethics as soon as befitting of the revered publication through the use of doctored and manipulated texts and deliberately omitting texts which dispute their chosen PR narrative.”
Relating to the go well with in opposition to the NYT, Vigorous’s lawyer tells E! Information in a press release, “Nothing on this lawsuit modifications something concerning the claims superior in Ms. Vigorous’s California Civil Rights Division Criticism, nor her federal grievance, filed earlier at present.”
“This lawsuit is predicated on the clearly false premise that Ms. Vigorous’s administrative grievance in opposition to Wayfarer and others was a ruse based mostly on a selection ‘to not file a lawsuit in opposition to Baldoni, Wayfarer,'” they proceed, “and that ‘litigation was by no means her final purpose.’ As demonstrated by the federal grievance filed by Ms. Vigorous earlier at present, that body of reference for the Wayfarer lawsuit is fake. Whereas we is not going to litigate this matter within the press, we do encourage folks to learn Ms. Vigorous’s grievance in its entirety. We look ahead to addressing each one in all Wayfarer’s allegations in courtroom.”
E! Information has reached out The New York Occasions for touch upon the lawsuit and has not heard again.
